I think the game soft-locked near the end there... I'm glad the checkpoint wasn't far off...
Sniper Elite V2 is a Stealth Third-Person Shooter that follows a sniper's mission to stop a German mass destruction weaponry from going off during WWII. This game is Fun! The most standout feature is the Bullet-time moments when you snipe a critical hit on enemies.
I had Sniper Elite V2 in my backlog for a long time, and I wish I played it sooner.
The game is different from the usual World War II game in that the main character is a sniper, and most of the game is about stealth and/or shooting from distance. There's enough variety in gameplay to not feel stale. I played on Easy Mode, yet I still found it somewhat challenging. Though I managed to beat the whole game without a guide.
The game has you fight both Germans and Russians, while gathering information or inflitrating enemy bases. The V2 in the title refers to the German weapon that the Sniper Elite must stop.
